Professional referral

For health, social care and other professionals to make direct referrals for Adult Social Care for residents of Leicestershire.

If you have immediate safeguarding concerns about a vulnerable person or you wish to report abuse of a person who has care and support needs and is unable to protect themselves, telephone 0116 305 0004.

Before you make an adult social care referral

If their main need is not being caused by a physical, mental or learning disability, and there is no immediate risk, please consider advising them to visit the Information and Support Directory to find appropriate support

For advice and information to help vulnerable adults stay healthy and live independently, visit First Contact Plus

Does the service user have personal savings over £23,250? If so they will be required to pay for their own care needs. This is likely to be delivered quicker if they pursue the requirement directly rather than through the council.

Before you begin the referral form

If the person already has an allocated social worker, please contact the social worker directly about your concerns.

Referrals made through this form will go through a due consideration process before action is taken. If we find the referral not appropriate for Adult Social Care we may refer it back to you via the email provided.
